Hey!
I live in the Netherlands, and a cheap store (Action) has recently added a smart doorbell in their productline.
It works on their app (LSC Smart Connect), which is a skinned Tuya version as I understand it.
Does somebody know this product, and if I can integrate it in Home Assistant.
Via cloud, tuya, or as a generic IP cam and a sensor if the button is pressed.
I would love to hear your ideas. It is now on sale for €30.
I sent Action a support request with the question if it is possible to use it as IP cam and IP sensor. Will get an answer in around 3 workdays, will post again if I get it.
I know for a fact that the LSC Smart Power plug and filament lights works via the HA Tuya integration because they all work with a standard ESP8266 chip. Beware that the Tuya service is cloud based and that your credentials will be on a Chinese server. Google Tuya convert if you want to go around all that.
Can you please elaborate? I saw the ads for this doorbell and was curious if (and how) it integrates to Home Assistant. I found the BazzDoorbell project as well, but it seems to me that what this project does is opening up the RTSP stream.
That’s great by itself, but I would also like to know when the doorbell is being pressed. So with
Integrated (button - mqtt, motion - mqtt, video stream (RSTP and ONVIF).
do you mean you got all this working with this type of video doorbell? If so, would you care to share how you did it?
Purchased the LSC Smartdoorbell from Action Store. It fully integrates with Home Assistant (via Tuya Integration) You can fully control the doorbell from HA, what it doesn’t do is let you know if somebody has rang the bell !!!, There’s no (binary) sensor or sensor that let you know if any movement has taken place. The Automation and Scripts can only react to the control options…
!!! indeed.
Knowing whether someone pushing the doorbell is probably the 1st (and the most basic) integration anyone would want to get out of an … em … doorbell.
I use the Sonoff RF bridge (flashed with Tasmota firmware). This integrates very well with HA Tasmota addon. It basically sends a MQTT message when RF data is received.
Setup a general MQTT template sensor for the received data and use the state change of that sensor (to the value of the button) as the trigger for any automation you want.
e.g.:
You can just catch the 433MHz RF signal of the doorbell button (when pressed) in the Tasmota web UI Console section (for the Sonoff RF bridge). When then pressing the button, you will find the correct data value in the log shown on the console page.
e.g.:
Thank you for this info ! How did you figure out it was sending a RF signal lol ?
I was already “listening” the RF with the bridge and didn’t think/caught about that.
Excellent
